Description

3,4-Dibromobenzoic acid (DBBA) is a white solid that has a melting point of -5°C. It is produced by the electrolysis of bromoacetic acid in the presence of aluminium chloride and phenylacetonitrile, followed by hydrolysis. DBBA can be used for the synthesis of 2-amino-4-bromobenzamide, which is an important intermediate for dyes and pharmaceuticals. The compound has been studied as a precursor to trifluoromethyl compounds with high thermal stability. DBBA can be prepared by bromination of benzene with bromine in acetic acid, followed by fluorination with hydrogen fluoride in acetic acid to yield 3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid and 3,4-dibromobenzoic acid. This process also yields anhydrous hydrogen fluoride as a co
